"Why did a literate person want to join the army in the first place?"
Zhu Yijun asked at this time.
As far as Zhu Yijun knew, a good man should not be a soldier, not to mention that in this era, those who have the opportunity to study and learn literacy should basically have a good family background, at least a wealthy family, so naturally it is even less likely to enlist in the army.
That's why Zhu Yijun asked this.
"In the beginning, it was naturally because the Japanese pirates were harming our hometown. Some of the miners' children were originally preparing to study and start a career, and some had achieved fame, but they were all summoned by Qi Hou to join the army. Gradually, many of the surviving ones were The literate people became officials and simply forgot about raising a career. The key point is that the court did not let us disband and kept using us. In order to serve the country, there was no time to think about raising a career."
Hu Shouren replied.
Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this: "No wonder I heard that many of Qi Qing's former subordinates love to read. When Wu Weizhong attacked Mudan Peak, he also read the "Book of Han"."
After saying that, Zhu Yijun added: "It is easier to grow from a soldier to a general if you are good at reading and deciphering."
As Zhu Yijun said this, he suddenly thought of the Qi family army in history that was slaughtered by his own people. He thought that maybe it was not just ordinary soldiers who were slaughtered, but a large number of famous generals from the Ming Empire.
"Li Rusong!"
Zhu Yijun called out at this time.
Li Rusong hurriedly stepped forward: "I'm here!"
"Hu Ben's left and right guards must also memorize the military regulations and be able to read and write!"
"You have to personally supervise and supervise! Organize a group of people who have a martial arts background or have attended health school or private school and are literate to teach!"
Zhu Yijun said.
Li Rusong hurriedly handed over his hands and said that he obeyed the order.
Then, Zhu Yijun said to Hu Shouren: "In addition to the fact that Jin Wu's left and right guards are Qi Qing's old corps and do not need supervision, Qing also needs to supervise Yu Lin's left and right guards more."
Hu Shouren also hurriedly said that he obeyed the decree.
Then, Zhu Yijun added: "In a few days, I will select seven people from Xingming Academy to join the Sixth Guards of the Army, and serve as experience and metropolitan officers to supervise this matter, and organize soldiers to set up a study club to learn about loyalty to the emperor and the nation. The way is to make them know who they are fighting for, and they are also responsible for organizing them to provide opinions to me. You are not allowed to be dissatisfied! My personal bodyguards, even ordinary soldiers, are the emperor's bodyguards. They are my soldiers, not yours. Servants, except for training and fighting, cannot be driven and abused at will like a domestic slave."
Hu Shouren and Li Rusong still said yes.
They did not dare to be dissatisfied, and they understood the emperor's intentions. After all, the soldiers in the emperor's personal army should indeed be different.
In the eyes of this era, even if the person holding the toilet next to the emperor is carrying the emperor's toilet, there is still some nobility worthy of respect.
This kind of thinking is reflected in "Journey to the West". As long as a certain fairy was once beside the Heavenly Elder, even if it was a beast or a fish beside the Heavenly Elder, he would not be directly beaten to death by Sun Wukong.
As long as Zhu Yijun doesn't force them to respect their own servants and soldiers from other systems.
That way, they would feel that the emperor was messing around.
But this would mean that the emperor's army and the local army are not of the same dimension.
But on the contrary, this is also the result Zhu Yijun wants to see.
Stop gossiping. ….
Shortly after this, Zhu Yijun also formally conducted a personal examination at Wuying Hall on the seven orphans of military households who were to be assigned to Xingming Academy and were adopted by him.
The first class is Chinese.
Zhu Yijun asked Xu Wei to train these orphans mainly in Chinese writing, reading analysis and slogan writing.
The questions that Zhu Yijun and Xu Wei came up with were also based on these three aspects.
In addition to Chinese language, there are also subjects such as arithmetic, history and geography, and general knowledge.
It can be said that there is still a lot of content under investigation for these orphans.
But fortunately, most of the content is not difficult, and only a few difficult questions are used to select the good and bad.
Therefore, the exam does not take much time and can be completed in three days.
In the end, Zhu Yijun personally selected
Tang Chuanxun, the son of General Tang Kekuan, who died in Gubeikou in the fourth year of Wanli Dynasty, was the first. The Six Guards Pro-Army Division was established, and Tang Chuanxun served as the director.
The remaining six orphans were assigned by Zhu Yijun to serve as governors of each of the six guards based on their place of origin. They were responsible for teaching the soldiers' political life and work, and assisting their superiors in managing military discipline.
"Ding Danbo, a member of the clan, had no one to rely on for a while after the death of his father. Fortunately, the emperor's benevolence and care for his old ministers left me in the imperial palace to raise me, and allowed me to study and study literature with Mr. Qingteng. The late General Lu learned martial arts and became a member of the Tian family just like you."
"So, it can be said that we are all a family. We just have some hierarchy, but in terms of personality, we are all compatriots, colleagues, and even family members! If you have any difficulties or ideas, you can tell me. "
Tang Chuanxun joined the Sixth Guards of the pro-army army, and on this day he started chatting with several new officers and soldiers of the Huben Left Guards.
Chen Ce, who had been selected as the governor of Huben's left guard, said at this time: "Yes, the training above is in accordance with the military regulations set by Qi Hou. It is too strict. If you express your longing for your hometown, you will be beheaded!"

After hearing this, Tang Chuanxun nodded and asked, "Tell me more about it."
"yes!"
Chen Ce then continued: "Now our guard has three good soldiers because of this, but they are sentimental and love to cry. Because of the hard training, they cried at night and said they wanted to go home, so they were beheaded by me, even though I was ordered not to. I don’t want to cut it, but I feel it’s not worth it. I feel homesick, especially when I’m particularly tired during the day. When I wake up at midnight, who doesn’t miss my hometown? What’s more, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon!”
Tang Chuanxun nodded after hearing this, and then reported the situation to Zhu Yijun.
Although Qi Jiguang did clearly mention in the "New Book of Jixiao" that soldiers who have homesickness will be beheaded.
But Zhu Yijun didn't know such details, and he didn't expect Qi Jiguang to be so strict in his military training.
"Then change it to corporal punishment, so as not to cause mutiny due to over-repression of nature, change it to push-ups or running that I asked you to promote; besides, the basis of loyalty to the country is to love your hometown; but if you are too sentimental and often homesick, it will get worse Punishment, if it doesn’t work, expel the personal guards and take back the emperor’s personal guards, honor and treatment.”….
After Zhu Yijun learned about it, he issued such an order and asked Tang Chuanxun: "Tell me how you in the pro-military guards preached the national ideals to the soldiers and why they should be loyal to the emperor. How did you ensure that they accepted you?" Mission?"
"Reply to Your Majesty, my method is that I will tell them first, and then let them tell each other to me, and then make comments. The one who speaks the best will be rewarded, treat him to a meal, or give him a book. Books or something like that, but if you don’t speak well, continue to listen to the minister, and then explain it to the minister again, and then comment on it.”
"Just like at Xingming Academy, when Qi Tishuai (Qi Changguo) taught us how to practice firearms, he first showed us how to do it, and then we showed it to them, and then commented on it, and so on."
Tang Chuanxun said.
"You may draw inferences by analogy, but this is good and worth promoting!"
"As expected of a famous general."
"Pass an edict to give Tang Qing fifty silver coins!"
Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
When Zhu Yijun's Sixth Guards of the Emperor were training in full swing, the new policy of restructuring, in which officials and gentry were to be paid as part of the errands, was, as Zhang Juzheng expected, discussed very heatedly at the beginning both inside and outside the government, so much so that many scholars in the capital even They all went to the official residence to appeal to Zhang Juzheng, which caused a heated discussion over the matter.
But now, it has gradually calmed down.
Even, wait until the ninth year of Wanli comes.
It's as if everyone in the world doesn't know this exists.
Many small and medium-sized landowners have chosen to accept the reality.
"Officials and gentry both pay the rations and serve as errands. Just because the gentry and the bureaucracy pay the rations as the errands, shouldn't they take the top prize?"
Even Wang Changgeng, who was born in the landlord class, said this to Liu Quexian at this time.
Liu Quexian smiled and said: "That's right! Otherwise, what else can we do? In fact, the imperial court also has its own difficulties. Nowadays, every acre of land belongs to the common people. If we really want this kind of exemption, there will be no one in the world." Silver can be collected."
"You have always admired all of Zhang Jiangling's decisions. Now that you have achieved fame and your family has dozens of acres of land, it's still the same! You just said that you disagreed at the beginning, and now you speak for him Jiangling. What on earth is he doing? How much of a favor do I have to give you to speak for him like this?"
At this time, Wang Changgeng could not help but vent his dissatisfaction with the New Deal on Liu Quexian. .
